When I opened the box, I was afraid that the fabric, which is thin, would be too clingy and show every stitch in my undergarments; but it does somehow skim over such things and lie smooth. The neckline is *very* sexy and flattering, while providing good coverage (though I do prefer it with a camisole). The wrap of the skirt is generous--no fear of it blowing open or gaping when I sit down--and the self-sash ties securely and then doesn't budge.
This dress is EXACTLY like the picture. It is comfortable and sexy. The material is a silk-like material so it is pretty thin. The only thing I would complain about is the size. I got a large but it is a little more like an XL. I am 5'6 and 170 lbs and I can just slip it over my head instead of using the actual fitting zipper. Worth the buy!
I ordered this dress in the plum color for prom. I got the extra small because I'm pretty small. It's pretty perfect except the waste is a little big and almost unshapely, but my boyfriend's grandmother is going to take in the waste a little to give it more shape. It's a really beautiful dress and I love the color, it's almost a reddish purple sometimes. I really love 50s style anything and I'm really glad I found a company that makes vintage clothing. Overall I love the dress and will be ordering more in the future.
